Still today, some buildings in Turin bear the signs of the bloody guerrilla warfare in 1706, when the French-Spanish soldiers, during the war of succession to the Spanish throne, besieged the city for 117 days. In fact, on the facades of some buildings there are small black signs, which are nothing more than the cannon balls, used in that war, and then later filled in.
We can see one of them in the arcades of Piazza San Carlo, between the windows of the apartments above the Mokika coffee shop. Another in the façade of the Consolata church, just below the dome.
And again, in Via della Consolata 1bis, near the courtyard of Palazzo Saluzzo.
